‘Daylight’ Delayed To Ramp Up The Scare Factor
Atlus has confirmed they’ve delayed Zombie Studios’ supernatural horror game Daylight a few weeks in order to make the game even scarier. The few extra weeks of development time will only help, and April 29th isn’t that far away.
The reasoning behind the delay is related to one of Daylight’s most exciting features. “The way Daylight is developed is completely different because of its procedural generation. In a lot of ways it really helped the team by streamlining the environment creation, but it’s taken extra time to make sure all the scare cues are properly implemented for maximum player effect.” the dev wrote in a post on the game’s Steam page.
If you’re feeling a bit unhappy about all this, Atlus wants to make it up to you. They’ll be selling the game at a discounted price for two weeks following its release. PS Plus Subscribers can get it for $9.99, while other non-subscribers can get it for $11.99. It’s also available for pre-order on PC for $9.99.
Daylight arrives April 29th on PC and PS4.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
